Prior to my first cycle of giving, I underwent neuropsychological testing at the recommendation of my counselor at Rehab services. It was an unpleasant, drawn out process, not unlike many I have taken before, and I knew how it was going to go, and I almost was certain of what the report was going to say. I know how certain professionals view me. I can be a difficult person to understand for reasons that I, myself, do not understand. For me, I work hard, I give as much as I can, I try to stay positive, the end. No need to mention the non-verbal learning differences. No need to mention about how I deal with my disability or over-identify with it. I know I'm "too sensitive," although I don't think the psychologist and my rehab counselor realized and I have tried to deal with this the best way I know how. In my mind I have come miles from where I have been but according to the experts I suppose that being told you might never drive at age almost 27 is not supposed to be upsetting, being told that the only vocation that they thought of for you, and it was on the fly, was book keeping, even though you have spent time and money on undergraduate and graduate education, is not supposed to be upsetting. Vaguely mentioning "wonderful gifts" but not specifically highlighting any is not supposed to be upsetting. So I need something positive in my life that will take my life in the right direction, and that is 29 days of giving.
I know I will find out more from this experience than I did with any test performed by me or on me.
